Most of those people joined when the prices were pumped but now that reached so low, some of them will probably leave in search for the next "opportunity" to scam peopleSome of them will stay but I agree that it should decrease if the price keeps dipping! My only worry is that when Steem finally does meet its potential and rise to a reasonable price that those spammers and scammers will come back, and a whole lote more will join them.
I think the phishing scams have nearly died on here but I am skeptical and expect them to come back at some stage
i hope that in-between they find some solution or take some measures against those guys cause now they know where most of the problems lie here on steemit. If they care and want steemit to reach its full potential they had to do something or else it will become way worse, most people are gonna leave for good and the price will drop long term
